Application of CFD for Rotating Machinery Flow Analysis

CFD has evolved to a great extent, as a tool for design and modeling of rotating machinery. It is now widely used and has become almost an essential component when it comes to design and analysis of rotating machinery. There is continuous effort to develop automated approaches and standard practices of applying CFD to model flow through rotating machinery. Application of CFD to rotating machinery or turbomachinery produces enhanced performance, shorter design cycles, reduced cost and quick resolution of design issues. Some of the applications of CFD for rotating machinery or turbomachinery flow analysis are turbine blade simulations, complete internal flow simulations of turbomachinery, cavity flows, and heat transfer as well as reactive flow simulations.

Depending on the type of rotating machinery under consideration, there are certain challenges that have to be tackled as numerous geometrical and physics related complexities are involved. Irrespective of these complexities, application of CFD to model rotating machinery flow is a much evolved process.

In this webinar we will discuss in detail, the challenges encountered and different approaches followed, while applying CFD for modeling flows through rotating machinery. The central focus will be on discussion of physical modeling approaches but, we will also cover other aspects like geometry, meshing as well as design optimization.
